How to get to Victoria Falls? Is there a way to get to Victoria Falls from Lusaka? Is there a way to get to Victoria Falls overland OR is it better to spend the money and fly domestic?

Depending where you are flying from, it may be easier to fly via Johannesburg. There are daily connections to Livingstone (Zambia) which is where our tour begins (The town and airport of 'Victoria Falls' is in neighbouring Zimbabwe. It is possible to fly into Victoria Falls and then transit across the border into Zambia , but it is a little more expensive because you must buy a visa for Zimbabwe (USD30 for most nationalities) and then taxis to the border and then on to Livingstone 10-12 kms on the Zambian side of the border. Flying into Livingstone is simpler because you simply take a taxi (or we can book a transfer) to the Waterfront Resort which is our start point. Livingstone has daily connections with Jo'burg, and also several days a week with Nairobi .

I was advised that the company canceled this tour and recommended me to change this 19 days tour start from Victoria Falls. As my understanding is that 25 days tour was part of this 19 days of tour. I really need to book this tour, since I cannot adjust my vacation time off from work, or the flight I have already booked to Pretoria. Can you see my name in your side of information? How can I change my payment from 25 days tour to this 19 days tour? Another question was that did you have 25 days of trip with accommodation? If so, did you cancel these tour?

The booking has been changed to the 19-day tour. Correct, the 25-day tour over this time period has been cancelled, only the 19-day version of this tour route and timing/date period is guaranteed.

Who does the cooking on this tour?

Adventure-style tours are participatory in nature, meaning that passengers will assist the Tour Leader with setting up, food prep, cooking and cleaning. While the Tour Leader usually does most of the actual cooking, passengers are required to assist sometimes.

I'm interested in this trip. Would like to know the average age group of travelers because we want to travel with young adults.

These tours are designed for clients within the age range of 18-39 years old. That is the average age group. We do occasionally get older travellers but they are young at heart.

I am a solo traveler. I would like to know if there is a single supplement or any additional fees for being solo.

You will be welcome as a single traveller. There is no additional supplement for joining the tour on your own - many people do it - and the 06Sept departure has seats available. Accommodation on tour is twin share with another passenger of the same sex.

Is the tour available for this date and is the prepaid pass the same as the local payment?

The SouthWest Safari 19 June is not available but we can help with our Desert Tracker (which is almost the same but runs in the opposite direction). The Adventure Pass is similar to a 'local payment' because we ask that you pay it locally, to your tour leader in Africa, in US Dollars cash (although you may pre-pay it if you prefer).

What is the adventure pass?

Every Overland tour has an Adventure Pass which is paid to your tour leader in Africa at the beginning of the tour (or pre-paid by arrangement prior to your tour). This is separate and in addition to the Tour Price, and covers selected park entries, activities and excursions along the way where payment goes directly to the supplier to ensure local suppliers benefit directly from the income.
